3.0.0.M01 - Release Notes

Virgo has now changed sufficiently to warrant the major version increasing to 3.
This first milestone on the 3.0 line already includes some impressive new features and
is the first milestone with some new committers on board. So a big welcome to them:

Violeta Georgieva (SAP AG)

Hristo Illiev (SAP AG)

Borislav Kapukaranov (SAP AG)

Dmitry Sklyut (Chariot Solutions)

Contributions in the form of bug reports, forum posts, blogs, and tweets were gratefully received from individuals too numerous to mention.

Highlights

Relaxed the order in which kernel bundles need to start by using Equinox Declarative Services, in preparation for p2 support.

Known Issues

Bug 337233: browsing the OSGi state in the Admin Console breaks when navigating to a bundle in the Kernel region.

Bug 337538: a thread safety bug in Equinox which sometimes causes the built-in applications such as the admin console
and splash screen to fail to start. This will be fixed in the next milestone. Meanwile, simply restart Virgo.

Bug 337543: RuntimeArtifactModel produces and swallows an NPE. This appears in log.log.
